Dark matter remains one of the greatest mysteries in astrophysics, constituting about 85% of the universe's mass. Despite being invisible, its presence is inferred through gravitational effects on visible matter. Studies suggest it might be composed of WIMPs or primordial black holes.
This article explores the hypothesis that primordial black holes, formed shortly after the Big Bang, could account for dark matter, potentially solving one of the universe's biggest mysteries.
Researchers at MIT are exploring the probability that primordial black holes formed in the early Universe could be key to understanding dark matter. Through gravitational wave detection and gravitational lensing methods, they aim to confirm these black holes' roles in the cosmic puzzle.
